How inevitable. How infantile. How ineffective.

This will continue to escalate...both ways.

Pam Bondi is now the 3rd high profile Republican woman to be run out of polite society this week.

First kirstjen Nielsen, then Pam Di Bondi, then Sarah Huckabee Sanders. You will be hounded out of decent Society by people that believe in fairness, equality and justice. Karma is a b****
Societies that make it a practice to run someone out or hound them out of a public place are neither polite nor decent. I would not have been okay with someone doing this to Susan Rice or Valerie Jarrett - not that I heard stories of people doing it, let alone others defending such crass behavior, since it never happened. The actions of a few fools bothers me way less than the public and media support of what should be unacceptable behavior.

Polite and decent was left in the dust a while ago.

Kindness, honesty? Pfft.

The hard line conservative actions of Trumps Administration are not liked by the majority of people in this country. Trump has a 4 year term. The only way to let him know anything is to get on cable TV news.


Even people in his party have to talk to him through TV.

Republicans are where they are because the left became this. Everyone who wasn't THEM was Hitler and it was ok to destroy them. They are "...ists" and "...phobics" and must be silenced because they would make the country an awful place! Well I've got news, things are awful because of this kind of stuff...attacks, attacks, attacks, dehumanize, drive out, destroy.

That idiotic kind of thinking shouldn't fly with anyone. I've not liked peoples politics, hell I differed politically with my own mom most of my life, but I'm not going to turn myself into a screeching shrew who harasses people based on that. I'm a fully formed human who's life is far more than political ideology. I can only assume these so called activists are not and have no actual connections to society. I'm not sure what they are exactly.

I think you're very wrong. As with the election - people are afraid to admit they like Trump and his decisions because they receive such flack from those on the left - just as many of us didn't care for Obama - but kept our mouths shut or we were accused of being racist.

I didn't care for Obama because of his policies and how I felt he didn't address situations that would benefit all "Americans" but only select groups. Had nothing to do with the man's color - but that's what his supporters assumed.

I'm called a Trumper because I do believe many of his policies will benefit this country - but I don't always agree with him or how he handles things. To you on the left - I'm still considered a Trumper - and yet I think most of the so called "Trumpers" are just like me - we look at this administration as mostly positive but there are things we disagree with and may have done differently ourselves.

As far as I'm concerned - Trump has made himself more available to the common man by doing so many rallies even before the upcoming elections mattered - than any other president in recent history.

I'm pretty sure the elections aren't until November.

Exactly right. They're feral, predatory, and dangerous....directly dangerous to those with the courage to be in public life these days, and indirectly to us all.

I find this trend more disturbing than anything we've seen since the peak of the Viet Nam era protests. But there was a night and day difference between then and now. In those days there was a real problem to protest about.

How to deal with a crowd so demented as to take to the streets like animals in response to a President doing his genuine best to protect Americans, their life quality, and living standard? We had better come up with an answer....and fast.

I wonder if a Republican can file a blanket restraining order against all those liberals suffering from President Trump Stress Disorder?

Restraining is the key word there, but I think it may take handcuffs and bars. Restraining orders only work with people that can be reasoned with.
